Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
Our little cocker spaniel is still our darling Alfie - but much happier, more obedient and calmer. Phillipa was clear and direct in her instructions, so me and my partner are on the same page. We can't believe the difference after only one session.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to see Alfie responding so well, and have the opportunity to train with his family. He loves being in a strong pack with good leadership and being able to relax more. I look forward to the next training.

Philippa dealt with Aggression
Some very useful strategies to control her on leash. Collar and leash supplied makes training much easier. It is not a quick fix. Consistent training is needed. Time and patience is required to train our gentle but fearful adopted dog.
Trainer note from Philippa
Pippa has now found her forever loving home with her owners embracing the training with patience, and giving her the best education to help her with confidence and trust.

Phillipa was fantastic at her job, was really good at training Archie especially with the issue we had with Archie and the cat I would highly recommend her and the Bark busters organisation.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to help this smart Jack Russell Terrier to put the best paw forward. Helping with Archie and behaviour towards the cat, recall, and only coming up when invited. Well done to Suzanne and Archie. Both are quick learners!

The training was fantastic and made such a difference, even after the first visit. Even family members visiting shortly after commented on him being a completely different dog.
There is still a lot of work for me to do with him over time, but it has been fantastic and I am very confident that we will get there.
I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking for help in any regards with their dog.

Philippa was fantastic with Rebel. We learnt a lot in a short amount of time and Rebel responded well to Philippa. Now that our commands are consistent Rebel is responding much better.
Philippa followed up the next day to see how things were going.
We had used Bark Busters a long time ago and knew that we would be in good hands. Philippa didn't disappoint, and her knowledge was extensive and her love of dogs was obvious.We would highly recommend Philippa and Bark Busters to anyone requiring assistance with their dogs.

Reggie 5 months old Cavoodle had his first training session with Philippa yesterday. Philippa asked about what problems and/or changes I would like fixed and then took me through some dog speak and psychology. Although I had been training Reggie since he was 8 weeks old, to sit, lay, etc. he started to get very stubborn and started to choose if he would ignore me or not, at times putting himself in danger by running out the front door and across the road and chasing Kangaroos and he would Bark and Bark at the slightest sound!
On our first session, Philippa implemented some of the behaviour changes I had had requested and you could see he started thinking about what he was going to do. Yes, he still had some stubborn moments which Philippa very professionally overcame the problem quickly. Philippa was very knowledgeable pulling out tricks of her own to immediately deal with his behaviour, never once coming in contact, and using her voice with the dog in a gentle manner. Reggie responded so well. I was starting to struggle and now felt encouraged knowing what a great decision it was to have him trained, I can’t wait to see the result. Philippa rang the next day to check how we were going and if we had any questions, which impressed me.
Highly recommend Philippa’s service.

We couldn't thank Bark b
Busters enough with our 2 beautiful boys. We learnt a lot ourselves in training our boys and they both seem much happier.

Phillipa is an excellent trainer whom we highly recommend. Following the adoption of our very large and excitable dog, Phillipa provided us with a variety of training techniques. This has enabled us to control undesired behaviour and made walking on the lead less stressful and thus more enjoyable. Phillipa is extremely patient and encouraging. She continues to provide ongoing support to us as we begin to introduce our dog to our cat.
